Triple. A. Title.
Edit #1- Wow I got a ton of feedback from posting this. Glad to see there are so many guardians out there still voicing their opinions. Also, on a side note, I just want to make it clear that I did not create this video.
Lets hope threads like this may change Bungie's strategies for story telling in the future. Although the concept of the Grimoire is a great ADDITION to a story, and unclear narratives can sometimes lead to community driven story telling, I cannot help but feel that the lack of a cohesive story in Destiny is a result of poor planning, budget cuts, or laziness on Bungie's side.
Thanks again for the feedback guardians, keep it coming, and keep your light safe.
Edit #2- Broke 900, soon to be 1000! Lets keep the conversation rolling. Also I would like to address one point.
This video does indeed use information presented in the Grimoire cards. However, the praise I am giving is directed at the way this narrative is PRESENTED by the creator of the video. I feel that the way this information was organized in the video is much more effective than any way it was presented by Bungie themselves. Time and effort was put into the creation of this video to make sure the player understood lore, actual events in game, as well as symbology related to the story that is told. This, in my opinion, seems like a much more caring way to present a narrative.

That guy's good. I subscribed. His 10 things videos are great too.

Awesome game!!! Wow!! When does it come out????
-
Watching videos like this really make me wonder, what do they do at Bungie. This TerraMantis (I love this guys videos) most likely makes these at home, and they have studio after studio to make something like this.

This is almost as good as the "indoctrination theory". Very nice.
-
Funny how this guys storytelling is much better than bungies and he doesn't even have a 500 million $$$ budget 😂😂😂

Amazing. Bump

The Narration reminds me of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." Very well done, might even land a job out of this effort.
-
Wish I would have seen this just as the dlc came out.. This would have mad it much cooler.

Edited by Buckeye8263: 2/6/2015 4:52:06 AMDestiny Destiny oh where is my destiny The game to break new grounds The game with gambling The game with trading The game that is free roam Is it on the disc Somewhere we can't reach it Or can we reach it But we are to nervous that we'll get banned Bungie oh bungie You did so well with halo But what happened now Did activision make you too shallow But wait what about your community You say you listen to us But still no responses or changes And still broken promises We try to forget the great game that was So we can play the game that is But it isnt even the same game It only shares the same name I know it didnt live up to the hype I know cartoons have more story I know it is a cut down version I know it is different But make a change just dont sit there Dont let your reputation crash Your turning into to sledgehammer If only we would of gotten the game But its gone now Somewhere hidden in the past If only they would of not fired the story writer And not make any decisions fast Destiny Destiny oh where is my destiny

Edited by ZireRanger: 2/6/2015 3:35:17 AMI have a slight issue with this video. Although impressive, it portrays Eris as a warlock, when she's actually a hunter. I know, nitpicking, but in a lore video, it should be somewhat accurate. Edit: i have now found out that my thoughts were indeed false. My apologies.

Hey, you should put the youtube channel name of the original creator. Not hating, just want to see credit where credit is due.

I wish bungie could see this, but they don't -blam!-ing listen to anything on the forum.
-
We were fooled by bungie, we wanted something new, and they knew that, so they just dropped the beta, half assed the game and the dlcs WERE supposed to be on the game, damn video game market. Damn you game companies for not putting something good before destiny.
-
So bungie actually posted this on their destiny facebook page. Fantastic vid, but plenty of other youtubers make great lore videos like this. There are a plethora of dark souls videos that come to mind of similar quality. The game has story, it's just not shoved in our face and left up to interpretation. Although I do wholeheartedly agree that they could have done a MUCH better job of implementing it while still being subtle.
-
Now if Morgan freeman could voice act this and be implemented in the game i would buy every sequel. Atleast have the cards in the game voice acted too and have cutscenes like this i would be happy.
-
Keep bumping this
-
plus they had subtitles. thumbs up.
-
That was great. Geez. What this game could have been...

Well said! Good job in producing this video!
